Summary: This study investigated the impact of perioperative teriparatide administration on the outcomes of vertebroplasty with posterior spinal fusion in patients with osteoporotic vertebral fractures. The results showed that teriparatide administration helped maintain local kyphosis correction, but had little effect on clinical outcomes.

Summary: A nomogram was developed to predict NVCFs after vertebral augmentation in patients with OVCFs. The model showed good discrimination and calibration in both the training and validation cohorts, providing a useful tool for identifying high-risk patients for postoperative VCFs. Postoperative management strategies should be considered for patients identified as high risk by this nomogram.

Summary: Osteoporosis is a common health issue leading to an increase in vertebral fractures, diagnosed through DEXA scans. Treatment options include conservative measures, surgery, and minimally invasive techniques. The choice of treatment for vertebral fractures depends on symptoms, with options like vertebroplasty or vertebral expansion for radiological deformities and symptoms.

Summary: In comparison to NSM, the study shows that VP/BKP can reduce the 12-month risk of all-cause mortality and morbidity in patients with OVCFs by 19% and 36%, respectively. Furthermore, VP/BKP reduces the 12-month risk of infection from any origin by 77%.

Summary: This study aimed to develop a radiomics nomogram for the preoperative prediction of new vertebral fractures (NVFs) after vertebral augmentation (VA). The radiomics features were extracted from MRI images and combined with the presence of intravertebral cleft and number of previous vertebral fractures to develop a predictive model. The nomogram showed good predictive performance, successfully categorizing patients into high- or low-risk subgroups.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a novel augmentation implant in treating patients with symptomatic vertebral body fractures. The results showed that patients experienced significant pain reduction and improved quality of life after treatment.

Summary: This study analyzed the risk factors for proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) in patients with chronic symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar fractures (CSOTLF) and kyphosis who underwent long-segment internal fixation. Age, BMI, BMD, PLC injury, fixation position, number of fixation stages, and preoperative indicators were identified as potential risk factors for PJK.

Summary: Osteoporotic vertebral fracture (OVF) is a significant risk for morbidity and mortality in the elderly population, and accurate diagnosis is crucial for improving treatment outcomes. Deep learning methods applied to plain radiographs can potentially address the high rates of misdiagnosis and underdiagnosis in OVF diagnosis. The AI_OVF_SH system demonstrated high accuracy and computational speed in skeletal position detection, segmentation, and fracture identification, making it an efficient tool to assist radiologists and clinicians in diagnosing vertebral fractures.

Summary: This study is a systematic review of peer-reviewed studies evaluating the cost-effectiveness of vertebral augmentation procedures, such as vertebroplasty (VP) or balloon kyphoplasty (BK), for osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVFs). The results show that both VP and BK are cost-effective alternatives to conservative management for OVFs, with earlier health gains and shorter hospital stays.

Summary: This article summarizes the recent advances in the understanding of vertebral fractures, with a focus on endocrine diseases, prevention, and treatment. It highlights the increased risk of vertebral fractures in patients with endocrine diseases and the current focus on invasive treatments. It also mentions that licensed treatments are effective in reducing the occurrence of vertebral fractures in osteoporosis patients.

Summary: In the aging population, secondary vertebral compression fractures following primary osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures are a significant concern. Age, history of nonspinal fractures, and Hounsfield units value of L1 were identified as independent risk factors associated with secondary vertebral compression fractures.

Summary: This study compared the clinical outcomes of PKP, PMCP, and PSFV for OVBFs, showing that PMCP can achieve better short-term clinical results than PKP and PSFV, despite slightly worse radiological outcomes.

Summary: This study estimated the direct costs of hip, vertebral, and forearm fractures in the first year after fracture incidence in Iran, finding that the direct cost of osteoporotic fractures in Iran is high. The findings may be useful for economic evaluation and estimating the economic burden of osteoporotic fractures in Iran.
